Thanatos3

And thought it was Dragon Age for a bit before thinking oh wait the other one was Elder Scrolls (I know DA:III is still a while off). But why does all medevil fantasy have to seem the same. A human, elf, and dwarf races facing off. Is there some law that says that all medevil fantasy has to do its darndest to go "Yeah its basically alot like Middle Earth but hey there are more people saying "fuck" here and the design of the orcs is different you see". Why cant games (which rely on gameplay to engage players as well as story, well sometimes story) come up with a more varied palette of races and cultures to explore like Guild Wars II did somewhat with some big cat people and those asura things that seemed borrowed from FF XI but still it seemed like more than what these always give: "We read LOTR and thought it would be cooler with this!"

Smudboy is you want the Mass Effect series torn apart in a intelligent way. Not irate hate just inconsistencies and plot holes in the series and storytelling of all three as well as Deus Ex HR and Dragon Age 2.

@Brighty: Those who got it free thought it was better? That doesn't make any sense. If they didn't have to pay why would they care to convince themselves it is any better than someone who spent hard earned money on it?

The story of the Metal Gear series is not convoluted.

What? 2012 was one of the best years in gaming! Look at all the releases.

MGS2=Greatest story of that decade. Raiden= Greatest Character.

Also Snake is a dull character.

@neoepoch: I didn't know that people existed who could follow a story. What is so convoluted about the plot of MGS?

Anyone who says that games use to be better is an idiot.

Ill be exited when PCs that play games well become affordable to me. Consoles suck when they are released. Always have been since the days of PS2.
